More than 50 years ago, New Zealands Arthur Lydiard started using terms like base training, periodization, and peaking. His U.S. counterpart, Bill Bowerman, brought Lydiards term for what until then had been called roadwork, or jogging, to the States. Soon after, the 1970s running boom started, spurred by exercise-advocating research from the growing fields of exercise science and sports medicine and from enthusiasts such as Jim Fixx, author of The Complete Book of Running. One of Bowermans former runners at the University of Oregon, Phil Knight, saw to it that those millions of new runners had swoosh-adorning footwear designed specifically for their sport. The pace of knowledge enhancement and innovation has, in fact, been so brisk through the years that even highly informed runners could be excused for not keeping up, but no longer. Running Science is a one-of-a-kind resource: An easily comprehended repository of running research A wealth of insights distilled from great sport and exercise scientists, coaches, and runners A do-it-right reference for a host of techniques and tactics An array of the most credible and widely used training principles and programs Perhaps most of all, a celebration of the latest science-based know-how of running, now truly the worlds most popular sport Running Research News and Training Update editor Owen Anderson presents this comprehensive work in a compelling way for runners. A Ph D and coach himself, Anderson has both a great enthusiasm for sharing what scientific studies offer the running community and a keen sense of whats really important for todays informed runners to know.
